Via @projectforemptyspace ✨ @DelanoDunn’s "Dreams of Fire and Starshine" is a journey through past, present, personal, and potential futures in an intersectional feminist world. This exhibition is comprised of three distinct sections. 🔥💫 Part Two: "Everlasting Twilight" examines the artist’s own understanding of male identity. Dunn explains his self-analysis as a ‘realization of my shortcomings,’ and his belief in ‘an imaginary power I possess to change the world for my daughter so that she would not face the inequalities that are imposed upon women.” 🔥💫 Delano Dunn: "Word On The Street, There’s A New Kid In Town," 2017, Vinyl, tape, cellophane, and paper on plexiglass, 15in. x 12in. 🔥💫 View this work and more @projectforemptyspace !

Our official #EngagementPhotos ?!? 😁 how fitting against the backdrop of a decor inspired by “The Garden of Earthly Delights” #HieronymusBosch’s notorious 1490s painting. Well God has promised us #HeavenOnEarth if we do right by His name! Our first real outing after the proposal and @desti.knee’s return from a month long world tour in the name of art at last night’s #BoshBash @browngirlcurator & @rjampol’s @projectforemptyspace #PES’ second annual dance party- an evening of cakes, drinks, contests, and dancing. “The mind which is created quick to love, is responsive to everything that is pleasing, soon as by pleasure it is awakened into activity” — Dante Alighieri, “The Divine Comedy” For last year’s Pajammy party we cat walked in our Bunny onesie outfits 🐰 . This year we were ask to get a little bit weird (aka creative) with our costumes and strike a pose with something from the gorgeous garden, the strange space of purgatory, or the stranger still depths of hilarious demons in Hieronymus Bosch’s Hell? (we were asked to please not harm any live animals, such as birds or unicorns, for the sake of our costume)! Proceeds from this wonderfully loopy night had a purpose- they went to support the Project for Empty Space annual Artist in Residency program, which supports several artists each year in their time exploring the meeting point of socially impactful discourse and art. The tantalizing art work and beautiful decor were thanks to artist @annacone’s creativity ⚡️ Something I am truly grateful for is waking up each day and being able to laugh ! 😃 Life is a Journey, and life has its ups & downs, so make it FUN! Be silly! Embrace and bring out that inner child. ☺️🥰 #blessed #grateful #boschbash2019 #projectforemptyspace #artlovers #artcollectors #artcurators #artadvisory @desti.knee #destineeross #joakimvonditmar #artlife • • #arte #artcurator #artconsultant #artadvisor #womeninthearts #representationmatters #supportthearts #womanhood #empoweringwomen #blackgirlsrock #blackgirlmagic #fashion #kobihalperin #annacone (at Project For Empty Space) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNz-G7lOce/?igshid=cp5hz9zv4074

Announcing An Open Call For PLAY And The Return of Jasmine Wahi And Rebecca Pauline Jampol As Curators

PULSE Contemporary Art Fair is thrilled to announce an open call for submissions for PLAY at Miami Beach 2017. PLAY is PULSE’s dedicated showcase for video and new media, serving as a platform at the fair to encourage discovery within the digital realm. Jasmine Wahi and Rebecca Pauline Jampol, Co-Founders and Directors of Project For Empty Space, will return as this year's curators. In October, Wahi and Jampol will host a month-long collaborative exhibition at Project for Empty Space showcasing the 2017 PLAY selections. This exhibition underscores PULSE’s longstanding commitment to exploration both inside and beyond the fair setting, and creates an additional platform from which the selected works can be viewed.

As selected by the curators, the theme for PLAY 2017 is “POWER," wherein artists are invited to explore the multiple iterations of the word, and the myriad of ways to interpret and contextualize power. The curators have determined to use the following definition of power as a jumping point of inquiry into this complex topic;

POWER

pow·er \ˈpau̇(-ə)r\

noun

1. the ability to do something or act in a particular way, especially as a faculty or quality.

2. the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of events.

3. physical strength and force exerted by something or someone.

4. energy that is produced by mechanical, electrical, or other means and used to operate a device

5. (mathematics) the number of times a certain number is to be multiplied by itself

verb

1. (a device) with mechanical or electrical energy.

2. move or travel with great speed or force.

Submissions for PLAY are now being accepted through Submittable. All submissions must include one video or new media piece running no longer than 15 minutes. Submissions should also include the artist’s bio and/or CV, an artwork statement, a supporting still of the submitted work, and the $50 application fee. All entries are due by August 2, 2017 and final selections will be announced in September. Selections will be shown onsite for the duration of PULSE Miami Beach 2017, in an exhibition in October at Project For Empty Space, and will enjoy additional promotion through PULSE's website and social media.

Thank you so much to the folks over at @projectforemptyspace for sending me this stunning art book conjured/created by @fayemi_ A WOMB OF VIOLET : AN ANTHOLOGY.

This limited edition 146 risograph handmade art book is absolutely GORGEOUS and was created while the lovely Fayemi Shakur was in residence through the Project for Empty Space Feminist incubator program. This book is the result of a collaboration with Newark area writers, poets, and visual artists. It contains photographs, art, quotes, poetry and prose. This soft sweet loving Womanist Black Feminist work of art is one of 100. ⭐️👏🏿⭐️

Our daily favorite posts from #miamiartweek2017 #artbaselmiami2017 #artbaselmiami #Repost @browngirlcurator (@get_repost) ・・・ WORD IS OUT! Rebecca Pauline Jampol and I are Thrilled thrilled THRILLED to announce the PULSE Contemporary Art Fair PLAY Program artists! Bolo, Carousel (Qinza Najm + Saks Afridi) Delphine Fawundu, "the cleanse" Andy Fernandez, MIRIAM Bang Geul Han, How to Remember the Black Book in Seoul Melvin Harper, 3017 Amy Khoshbin, Protest Surabhi Sharaf, Intensities Rodrigo Valenzuela, El Sisifo Ventiko, 꿈을 깨어 (Waking Dream) And here is a "little" blurb about the show: Each of the nine works selected by Wahi and Jampol relate to this year's theme of POWER, a theme the curators chose to define in a broad sense, inviting artists to explore the multiple iterations of the word, it’s definitions, and the myriad of ways to interpret and contextualize power. “By the time it reached its half-life, the year 2017 had witnessed the gamut of powerful events, powerful people, powerful movements, and powerful paradigm shifts. In feeling the impact of overwhelming examples of social, political, ecological, civil, economic, and even personal power (or lack thereof), we decided to address these moments through the PULSE PLAY program,” say Wahi and Jampol. “The nine videos that we picked include works that contend with the stripping away of power through the lens of the oppressed or expose the dynamics of political dominance through the perspective of the spectator. Others intend to ameliorate the negative impacts of history, validate the power of personal achievement or emphasize the crippling impact of cultural power paradigms on the masses. Each of the videos selected are intended to illicit a visceral response and may be difficult to watch; a few may make you weep, gasp in shock, laugh with an unexplained sense of victory, or sigh with relief. It is our hope that this collection stirs you, and that you feel the full impact of our idea of power.” Read more about it: https://www.pulseartfair.com/programming-play And join us for a PREVIEW at Project For Empty Space on Tuesday, October 10th, from 5 - 7 PM. #projectforemptyspace #pulseplay #abmb2017 #pulseartfa (at PULSE Contemporary Art Fair)

Our Obstructions of Justice Part of the show States of Incarceration
Seeking Asylum, Resisting Detention at @projectforemptyspace opening tomorrow night this piece reflects the complicated, and often unjust nature of our criminal justice system. This is Vida, a mother, a friend, and a former inmate. When we consider mass incarceration rarely do we consider women and their families. Did you know it's legal and still enforced in some states to shackle a detained woman while she gives birth? 80% of incarcerated women are mothers and currently there is no protocol for making sure she is close enough to her kids to facilitate regular visits. The #dignityforincarceratedwomenact is attempting to change this. But without Our Voices urging our representatives to support this initiative incarcerated women and their families will continue to suffer. A simple phone call from you could change the lives of millions of women and children. It could be you that tips the scales towards justice. #annlewis #massincarceration #projectforemptyspace #newark #mural #activistart #cut50 #feminism #intersectionality #prisonreform (at Project For Empty Space)
